airports.Ĭurrently, American Express Corp. And now those privileges include access to upscale lounges at two well-traveled U.S. Cheers and Happy Trails.Just like the commercials insist, membership does have its privileges. Especially the 12,000+ square feet offered at DFW. Delta lounges are the best (domestically) however still a far cry from Centurion in any airport. However, more Centurion lounges are on the horizon so will maintain Platinum level as Amex continues their growth. I struggle with the diminishing benefits of my Amex Platinum card as they relate to the annual fee. But when given the choice, always choose Centurion because I’m assured of fantastic and delicious meal options, plenty of seating, exceptional service, good wine choices. I have access to the Admirals Lounge (DFW being the AA hub this is the best of the best in D gates) as well, also Priority Pass lounges globally and Delta lounges. We are all entitled to our own opinions and have our own standards of “excellence.” Having just finished an absolutely wonderful lunch, chicken, roasted vegetables and a mixed green salad with goat cheese and am now finishing a very good glass of Cabernet, I’m confused by some of the poor reviews below. I’m sitting in the Centurion Lounge at DFW as I write this. In all, it was well-worth the train rides, to visit this Centurion Lounge, and we will return. Soon, we were off to the train, to get back to the E Terminal, and to our departure gate. I would guess that the Centurion Lounges change their wine selections every 9 months, or so. From other AMEX Centurion Lounges, I have become familiar with all of these, and enjoy them. My wife stayed with the Flor de Campo, and I had a glass of the Lovelock New Zealand Pinot Noir (shared with my wife), and the Federalist Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon. The Lounge Hostess was charming, and very welcoming, almost as though I was a frequent guest, like at the SFO Lounge, and the bartender acted like we were long-lost patrons, which in a way, I suppose we were. I think that there might be a restriction on a very few spirits, only being available to Centurion Card holder, but have never really asked, as neither of us is really a spirits drinker. However, all other wines are included with access. Usually when flying, we start with Champagne, but at the Centurion Lounges, that turns out to be Prosecco, and not one of our favorite Proseccos either - Champagne at the AMEX Centurion Lounges is only for Centurion Card holders, and I am but a lowly Platinum Card holder - so no Champagne. We had a couple of glasses of the Flor de Campo Chardonnay in hand, in moments. On this visit, we sat at the bar, which is what I would typify as “intimate,” but fairly bright. For me, another specialty is the Mexican-influenced food, in the little buffet. Each lounge has a unique specialty, such as the wine-tasting machine at SFO, and at DFW, it’s the spa. The AMEX Centurion Lounge at DFW is not as large, as a few other lounges, around the USA, but is very nice, in its compact style. Once more, luggage was dropped at E, and we headed over to D. For this June visit, it was similar, except that my wife’s meetings were downtown, and had ended, so we both got to enjoy the AMEX Centurion Lounge, for the entire time. After her meetings, I had my wife meet me there, and we proceeded over to E for departure. I had dropped my luggage off at the United counter, then used the train to get to D and the Centurion Lounge. On that first visit, my wife had morning meetings at the Hyatt attached to DFW near Terminal D, so after checking us out, I had plenty of time to kill, and though we were flying out of Terminal E, I worked in a visit to the Lounge. We do not fly into DFW that often, and never connect there, as United is our prime carrier, so it’s Houston for us. A Very Nice Centurion Lounge at DFW I first visited the AMEX Centurion Lounge at Dallas/Ft Worth (DFW) shortly after they opened.
